Re: [WISPA] OT: Eqypt Has Been Disconnected from the Internet
I don't know how many of you were in this business when 9/11 came about. A while after that the internet backbone came to a crawl. I called a friend of mine that worked for the same people I used to and he told me about all the monitoring points the gov just installed at the peer points. It took them about a month to fix the performance hit they caused (not too sneaky). Ya gotta love the NSA... biggest spook agency in the nation, but most americans don't know they exist.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Eqypt Has Been Disconnected from the Internet
(Somewhat of a soapbox) The whole stimulus plan was the first step to reward a few winners. When you see the red tape attached to stimulus awards, it should make one run far away. We applied because consultants convinced us that it would be a way to fund our rural areas. We, Indiana WISPA, heard a great message a few weeks ago at our statewide meeting from Dan Picker of Purewave on how stimulus funds were the biggest disaster towards stimulating anything. Those of us that wasted time applying for funds kept from ordering equipment, making commitments to build out our network in the same manner that got us where we were already and we all suffered for the delay. Suppliers had the worst year and equipment manufacturers sat idles. Now we see how a government can control the entire Internet business with one switch. The sad thing is, we are down to a handful of real Internet providers that we buy our services from in the US.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Eqypt Has Been Disconnected from the Internet
The good news is Although there are negative forces against us, there are still folks in Congress and house/commerce committees that can understand our side, to preserve the structure of the INternet and the providers that truely understand how to operate it optimally. The easiest way to shut down or censor the Internet is via BGP and DNS. It was a big victory several months ago, when the ISP industry pulled togeather, and shut down the attempt of Security and Copyright agencies to hi-jack control of DNS via legislation.

How long will it be before the Government will be able to shut us off l ike they did in Egypt? Not all of the stimulus grants were so problematic. Some will be very useful to the WISP community. Some of the middle mile networks will make backhaul a lot easier, providing the first competition to very very expensive ILEC Special Access. Maine's Three Ring Binder and the Massachusetts Broadband Institute, for instance, are running fiber into rural areas with the hope that WISPs will pick up some of the last mile (which alas BTOP round 2 would not pay for). However, the BIP program was largely a handout to the usual rural ILECs, since it favored existing RUS borrowers (like ILECs). Still, some competitive providers did get a piece of the action. As to protection against shutoff and blocking, we need to think about how fragile the Internet architecture is, and how to work around its weak points. I doubt that a kill switch would be very effective here, but the more the Internet is concentrated in the hands of a few providers, the easier it will be. I wonder if the FCC's strongly anticompetitive push starting early in 2001 was being encouraged by the security apparat. -- Fred Goldsteink1io fgoldstein at ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 WISPA Wants You!

I received one email a few days ago just as the riots were starting, but haven't heard anything since.

I'm trying to get ahold of my sister who was attending school there. I received one email a few days ago just as the riots were starting, but haven't heard anything since. The landline and cell numbers I had for her are either no good, or out due to phone infrastructure failure. I haven't called them in a while. Usually we just email or Skype. -- Blake Covarrubias On Jan 28, 2011, at 8:00 AM, Fred Goldstein wrote: At 1/28/2011 08:13 AM, BobM wrote: BTW.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Eqypt Has Been Disconnected from the Internet
Thanks Jack, I'm interested in such governmental actions around the world and the ways that it will be worked around. Frank On 1/27/2011 9:06 PM, Jack Unger wrote: Sorry for the OT post. I thought some might be interested. *** Confirming what a few have reported this evening: in an action unprecedented in Internet history, the Egyptian government appears to have ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to the Internet. Critical European-Asian fiber-optic routes through Egypt appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian provider, every business, bank, Internet cafe, website, school, embassy, and government office that relied on the big four Egyptian ISPs for their Internet connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world. Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr, and all their customers and partners are, for the moment, off the air. At 22:34 UTC (00:34am local time), Renesys observed the virtually simultaneous withdrawal of all routes to Egyptian networks in the Internet's global routing table. Approximately 3,500 individual BGP routes were withdrawn, leaving no valid paths by which the rest of the world could continue to exchange Internet traffic with Egypt's service providers. Virtually all of Egypt's Internet addresses are now unreachable, worldwide. WISPA Wants You!
